Scientific literacy is essential for any kind of development and well-being of a person, society or nation. The proper use of science and technology (S&T) certainly helps to upgrade the human living conditions and it makes life more comfortable, rational and progressive. Nowadays, we are passing through the age of science & technology. So proper dissemination of S&T information is quite important to each person and progressive society. And in this regard, the media can play a vital role. But, there is a general perception about our media especially Hindi daily newspapers that they don’t pay good attention to S&T issues and do not provide adequate quantity and space for S&T contents. The present study analysed Hindi daily newspapers i.e. Dainik Jagaran, Hindustan and Amar Ujala on several points like the frequency and quantity of news coverage, allotted space and types of news and tone of Scientific & Technology based stories etc. The results announced that Hindi newspapers have minimal interest and priority in publishing the S&T stories and they are not giving adequate importance to S&T and also not covering the issues of S&T regularly.
